Abstract

A replaceable ink supply module which provides replenishment of an inkjet printhead includes a collapsible bag (356), an enclosure box (340), a connective tube (130), and an on/off valve. These four components are incorporated into a composite sealed system which remains intact during shipment, storage, installation and operation. The collapsible bag (356) is placed inside of the protective enclosure box (340) and has an end-connect outlet permanently attached to one end of the connective tube (130). The other end of the connective tube (130) carries a permanently attached on/off valve designed for periodic engagement with an inlet valve of an inkjet printhead.
